I actually think, that auto-driving cabs would be bad for Uber's business model. There model is to shift all risks and hard assets (car) to contractors. With auto-driven cab the contractors could run a lot of cars or even for several companies or Uber had to run them on their own. With the necessity to carry the risks and all the costs. But I agree, without a union the drivers won't get anything done. I think also the state should see those drivers as what they are, Uber employees. It shouldn't matter what Uber calls them. If someone works full time for one company they are employees of that company.
